BidOsceola Letter
Dear Investor:

Pursuant to Florida Statute, the tax certificate sale must be held each
year "on or before June 1" of the calendar year following the taxable
year.

We will be holding an on-line tax certificate sale. The list
of delinquent taxes will appear in the Osceola News-Gazette
newspaper and on our site beginning in May - Please check our
internet site for updates.

Bidders register on-line, and are required to make a 10% deposit in order to receive a bid number. The deposit and any
balance due for certificates purchased must be paid by ACH Debit on the
www.BidOsceola.com
web site. No other methods of payment will be permitted.

The dollar amount of each parcel still unpaid as of the date of the tax
certificate sale is listed on the Bid Page of the BidOsceola.com web
site. Bidding begins at 18.00 percent per annum and goes down. The
certificate is sold to the bidder who will pay the amount of taxes and
penalties due in exchange for receiving the lowest amount of interest.

At the end of the sale the bidder receives a list of their successful
bids and is required to pay the balance due within 48 hours.
Upon request of the bidder and payment in full, we will send the bidder
a computer printout of their
certificates. No documents are issued. There are no other expenses
involved in purchasing tax sale certificates.

Any certificates not sold at the scheduled tax certificate sales are available for purchase at any time on the Osceola LienExpress website after the tax sale has been finalized.

We are pleased to announce that our office is currently processing all
certificate redemptions via ACH/direct deposit. Once you have
completed the Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit you will
receive all your monies via direct deposit.

If a certificate has not been redeemed by April 1 (2 years after the
sale), the certificate holder may file a tax deed application. At that
time, the applicant is required to pay off (through our office) any and
all other certificate holders on the same piece of property, the
current year's taxes, a title search fee, the Tax Collector's tax deed
application fee and estimated Clerk of the Court fees. Once the search
is returned to our office, the file is sent to the Clerk of the Court
for further processing. For information about Tax Deed Sales
please contact the Tax Deed Department, Clerk of the Court,
2 Courthouse Square, Room 2411, Kissimmee, FL 34741, telephone (407)
742-3526. Tax Deed Applications are filed by the individual certificate
holders, at their discretion, if the taxes are not paid after two
years. That office also maintains the “List of Lands
Available for Sale.” The Clerk’s web site
